With over 2.5 million users, Upland's metaverse is one of the fastest-growing blockchain-based economies. Players can buy, sell, and trade virtual properties and other assets within the game.
To create a complete digital economy that provided players with the opportunity for real-world financial gain. They needed a way to accept USD payments from players for digital goods, and to enable player-to-player purchases of digital goods.

Second Life was a pioneer in virtual worlds and metaverses when it launched in 2003. Almost 20 years later, it continues to have a large and dedicated user base building an ever-expanding virtual world where residents can play, live, and conduct business together.
Second Life wanted a fully-functioning economy that benefited creators. In addition to needing the ability to accept payments, Second Life needed to offer Stored Value Wallet to support the digital economy, and enable creators’ to extract real money from in-world earnings.
Tilia was created by the team at Second Life as a compliant solution to power its entire economy.
